One more user experience I want to share:

There’s a YouTube video out there in which Renny Doyle mentions the reason behind using so much Bead Maker for initial application, “ The microfiber towel soaks up the product.”

Hearing this, I decided a different method of application.

I used a microfiber block and sprayed a few sprays into it, then applied it to the surface in a back-and-forth motion. Every panel I would spray a few times
into the block and repeat.

The results were the same or better than the method they suggest. No streaking and just as glossy.

I am surprised nobody has ever brought this up or questioned why so much Bead Maker is “required” for initial application. If they have, I haven’t read or seen it.

This isn’t a defense of BM. Just something I tried. I have an unopened gallon of this stuff on hand as I rarely use it.

YMMV

All news to me lol I think the 303 graphene coating is the same with these precise and complicated application guidelines. Lets call it for what it is. They are selling something and pre-positioning themselves that if you don't apply it EXACTLY as recommended it will not meet your expectations. This is for a super cheap product. Its kinda funny really. Cheap product? Load up on the marketing..

I guess thats why i have bought things like polish angel, carpro, sonax etc They just work none of this fuss and i have never used any of those in ideal conditions.

Youtube influencers have to be getting paid well for these hood winks. I've been looking back at some more video's lately about a year ago and its clearly obviously turtlewax was paying a lot of these guys on youtube. PendS done the same. It worked.

Do you want some turtlewax on your Pends? haha

I recently have been using AutoFanatic 007 high gloss as a topper, and have really been impressed with the gloss/lack of dust attraction. Polish Angel High gloss is also awesome, with a little more dust attraction thatn 007, but my bottle over 3 months has gummed up with clumps. I have been pleased with the 007 for sure.

My rapidwaxx and high gloss as always been like that. Both are over a year old and still work great. Frankly high gloss can almost rival the beading of Nv EVO that i just applied to my roof. Outside. Nv EVO as been really good to me lol Easy to use and a bead monster, the best i've used so far as a driveway detailer. Quick application. No waiting around.
 
Couldnt agree more noorth on your post refering to youtubers getting paid, which there is nothing wrong with that but we have to be very careful

If you put High Gloss and Rapid Wax on the same panel, can you tell a difference in looks or hydrophobics??

Not really. Both look great. They seem to be different in looks then like a high gloss sealant like carpro reload. More character lol
 
Subbed, as I like using these spray sealants you can easily slop on the paint and often times my sole LSP.
 
I've been using Xtreme Solutions Topper and really like it. It goes on easy, similar to Bead Maker. The shine is great, though I think Bead Maker is fantastic the morning after you apply it. Slickness is good and you don't need to use a bunch. I think it's about the easiest most care free application of anything I've used so far. It works great when it's windy out and very well in direct sunlight. The protection is much better than Bead Maker, which was the reason I was exploring other toppers/drying aids. It's doing well on my wife's car that sits outside. It has Optimum Car Wax on it from late last fall and it still seems like its been protected recently.

That’s why your car is looking extra glossy on IG.


Yeah. Another blatant vote for Topper.
Two-step paint correction.
Acrylic based polish

Also, it makes white vehicles pop!
I think there is some titanium in it.

Ha! Her paint isn't great, but she does have nice gloss.

Topper really is a pleasant experience. I've used it once as a waterless wash on a dusty car. It did okay, but I prefer it as a drying aid after a bucket wash or right after using a waterless/rinseless wash.
 
Damn that BMW looks good. I'll add Topper to my Christmas list :D
 
Of the one listed, 3D Bead It Up.

Slick, glossy, easy to use, and durable.

I also use Jescar Ceramic Spray Wax, and Optimum Hyper Seal on cars coated with Gloss Coat.

CarPro Reload is nice, but finicky to use, and doesn't seem to last all that long. The beading is pretty gorgeous though.

In my opinoin non of the above. I like the new Ice Spray Wax, Dura Gloss Aqua wax, Eagle One Wipe and Shine, and Dura Gloss Fast Clean and Shine.

DG Fast, Clean & Shine (quick detailer) and Aqawax (spray sealant) are really nice products. Also a good 1, 2 punch for protection and maintenance. The Aquawax lasts and the FC&S is really slick and glossy.

Until you posted this, I never really considered them for use along side ceramic coatings. I will give them some consideration.

On a side not, Optimum Instant Detailer and Gloss Enhancer is another really glossy and slick product.

I've had my eye on this to try, just haven't heard much chatter about it. So thanks. Going to have to make a purchase

I love the shine and ease of use of 3D Bead it Up, smells awesome, but and a big but, it really attracted dust for me. I have been using Sonax Ultra Slick Ceramic detail spray and has been my topper of choice.
 
The new Sonax Ceramic Ultra Slick Detailer is the bomb.:props:

For what it delivers, it's pretty affordable too.
